Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity

They are both an embarassement and a warning that "it could happen to you too." Catholics aren't the only ones in danger, it is the working people of the nation that are losing the battle of the American Dream. The battle against the people is being waged by the Republicans and financed by the wealthy both of which are monsters.

Far too many Americans live on the razor's edge of financial disaster. In my opinion it is because in order to support billionaires, you must have desperately poor people to balance the equasion. That attitude must be the hated "Socialism", right? The problem is that billionairs call all of the shots. One day it will come to a head and it won't be pretty. The pity is that people will turn on themselves instead of addressing the real problem. We have put the monsters in charge, and they just sit there watching.

A group of learned philosophers from the previous century gave us the history and warned us, but did we listen?

Steppenwolf: Monster

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

[Chorus]
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child
To be their spirit, and guiding light

[Verse 2]
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon they went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end

[Pre-Chorus 2]
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man


[Chorus]
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child
To be their spirit, and guiding light

[Bridge]
The blue and gray they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog

[Verse 3]
And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey
